Trying to find a place to buy bulbs to replace all the ones that are burnt out in the coin doors of my games. I've looked at a few places but I'm not having any luck. I tried Bob Roberts but maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot.
 
He has them, they should be 44 bayonet base sold in pack of ten. Look under the lamps link, he doesn't have them listed as bulbs. You could also order led ones from any pinball site like pinballlife.com, just make sure you get the 3 led versions if you do that as they seem to be about the right amount of output. Then you would never have to change them...

I need the push in ones, would the standard be the 10 Lamps 555 Wedge ones? I see like 3 different types of the wedge ones on his site, thats why I'm asking.
 
i'd check all the lamps before ordering just one type. i've replaced a mix of bayonet and wedge, 6v and 12v in all of my coin doors. i've also seen people put the wrong voltage lamps in (6v will run very brightly but not very long in a 12v system, and 12v lamps in a 6v are pretty dim.)

also, Bob Roberts is an excellent source for these at a good price and these can easily be added to a larger order to save on shipping costs.

I found this out the hard way. At first I thought "damn these are some bright bulbs"...... then........I was like "damn these bright bulbs burn out fast"..........foolish.


Edit: Thanks for the link Ken.

I figure since Bob has them so cheap on his site I'll just buy a batch of both the 6v and the 12v.
